According to him, the Foreign Ministry provided detailed information about the protocols at the meeting and the documents will be discussed in Turkish parliament on October 21.

Stressing the importance of the protocols, the government spokesman noted that it was a significant point in normalization of Turkey â€“ Armenia relations: â€œThere is nothing secret in the protocols. We demonstrated sincere and serious will. Turkey is big and strong state. We want peace with Armenians along with other neighbors. War benefits no one. However, lasting peace and stability is possible after the withdrawal of Armenia from the occupied territories of Azerbaijan. We have fraternal relations with Azerbaijan. No process is as important as Azerbaijan â€“ Turkey friendshipâ€.

Meetings between the presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia intensifiedâ€.
